The kites are supposed to be flying at an altitude of up to 1km. I’ve never heard of anyone realistically targeting that height. How close are you to that goal, @Massimo ?

KiteGen vs Rotating Reel carousels . I mention:
So the possible kite altitude for an efficient conversion depends also on the diameter of the carousel, and that in a similar way for both KiteGen and Rotating Reel carousels. See the page 14 of http://www.kitegen.com/pdf/dossierkitegenen.pdf : (probably average) operative kite altitude 0.75 km for a machine’s diameter of 1.13 km, then in the end an operative kite altitude 10 km for a machine’s diameter of 25 km.
Some other difficulties can occur, above all when the targeted kite altitude is 10 km as mentioned on the document.
